1t is supposed from these remarks
that the robbers secured II large
amount of money. After the robbers
had secured the Doodle they told the
tfainmen to roll the log off the track
and go on. Mr.. White, before lear-
ing The s%tation, lad a talk with the
agent, whose name is ;. Il. Ely. Mr..
Ely says the men came to the station
unmasked and took himself and two
other mrn in charge, One ofthe men
was j. 3. Ricketts,, and he halls from
Birmingham, Ala. The robbers also
took Il fine gold watch and chain from
Mr., Ricketts,. The robbers took tho
three men, placed them in a box car,
closed the doo', and put a guard over
them. Mr., White says he asked tho
agent what kind of looking men the.
were and he told HIM they looked like
border ruffians. They were well armed
and seemed to understand their bust
ness very thoroughly. After robbing
the train they mounted their horses
and rode away.
The train was delayed only about
half an hour and came on north.
When it arrived at. Waco this morn
ing, Northacket, the expressman, was
weak from loss Of blood and the
effects of the blows he received from
The robbers, but he continued on his

Austin, Texas, May 20.-Deputy
United States Marshall Rankin re-
turned late last night from the Gene
Of the train robbery, and reported
that, with The assistance of blood
hounds, the officers got on the trail
of the robbers. 1t was followed n
few miles, when they came upon the
camp where the robbers had evident
~ divided their booty-some $4,000,
Express wrappers were lying around,
and the numerous trails leading from
the ground showed that the band
scattered here. Mr.. Rankin left the
Sheriff of Williamson County and a
large posse still securing the country,
and with the aid Of the bloodhounds
he thinks they will capture one or
more of the robbers. N Y. Times.

Waco, Texas, May 2O.--Passen-
gers on the Missouri Pacific train
which arrived here nj 3 o'clock yes
terday morning give The following
particulars of the train robbery on
the International and Great Northern
Road at Mcneil Station, Is miles
from Austin. Twelve mounted men
did the work, and they went at it
with so much system and their plans
worked SO we'll that they secured Il
large amount Of money from the
Pacific Express Company. Mr.. G.
w. White, of Waco, who was a
passenger on the train, said: "The
train left Austin for Waco on time,
and when it pulled up at Mcneil
Station, which is at tho crossing of
the Austin and Northwestern Road,
it was found that the agent and two
gentlemen who intended TO take pas
sage en- the Missouri Pacific train
were in charge of IL robbers, who
had come 10 the station well mounted
and armed. The robbers had rolled
a log in front Of the engine, and the
engineer and fireman were guarded
by some Of them while the others
proceeded to fire into the top of the
cars. In The train The passengers
were told that il they kept quiet they
would not be mOlested, and they
kept quiet. The robbers fred about
100 shots within The coaches TO help
keep the passengers quiet.
Henry Landa, OF San Antonio,
was shot in the hand. A breakman
named White had his cheek and nos
grazed by a bullet. The robbers

in charge of A. J. Northacker, and
demanded that he open it. lie re-
fused to obey their command, and
they then broke open the car door
and knocked the expressman down.
The safe was then broken open and
robbed. How MUCH money they got
no one seems to know. The amo uni
has been variously estimated ab from
$4,000 10 $4,000"

Advantages of the South.

4 northern gentleman who has been
travelling through the South gives the
following excellent reasons why peoI OF
the North who desire to improve their
fortunes and prolong their lives, should
go South.
First--The lives of tens of thousands, who
are ipjuriously affected by the sudden changes
and extreme cold of Northern winters, will be
prolonged many years.
.SecOnd--Considering the soci.; educationa
and religious advantages, tram ortation facil-
iies public Improvements, and fertility f the
soil, the lands are cheaper than can lie found
in any other part Of the country.
Third Taking into consideration the cost
of land and expense Of tillage, much greater
, ct profit can be realized annually than is re
allied in any Northern of Eastern State.
FOurfh-The present price of lands not be
ing at all proportional to their productive val
t.e, the general advantages being equal if moi
superior to those in other sections, an invest
ment in land in the South is highly profitable
Fitfh in NJ o her section Of the country is
the practical farmer and landowner held in 81
high fsieem As in the Southern States. and
nowhere Oh the face of the earth sill the
Northern farmer and citizen meet with such q
hospitable welcome as awaits him at the hands
Of the Southern people.

The Rhode Island Elections.

\ singular result was experienced IN
the Rhode Island elections last week. In
that State it requires majority OF all the
votes east to elect State and district OH
cars-apd there was failure to elect IN
= number of Senatorial and Representa-
tive districts on Wednesday. the day OF
General election The secon l-trial cleo
tons came off on Saturday last and re-
suited in unexpected victories for the
Democrats. In the Legislature Eow the
Democrats have majority of 9 on JOINT
ballot. and Rhode Island will have full
list of Democratic State officers Tn
fortunately there is no United States Sen
ator to be elected, for if such were the
ease one more could be added to the Dem
ocratic side in the Senate One good re-
suit of election may be the adoption OF
general suffrage, which would make
Rhode Island doubtful State Under
her present anti Republican constitution
little more than one-half of ner people
who would be voters elsewere, can vote at
a general election.

The National Drill.

Orders are being issued by the proper all
thorities of different States granting permits
sion to troops of other States coming to the
National Drill TO pass through their territory.
Copies Of such orders issued in Ohio, Mary
land, and Delaware have been received at the
National Dill headquarters. There are 9TH
er indications of pre- partitions throughout the
country for the coming event, which will sur
pass in interest and in the number Of troops
assembled at any gathering of militia of differ
ent States that has been held. When steps
were first taken to have Il National Drill,
Mr.. De Leon, the managing secretary, esti-
mated that at least $500 troops would be in
camp. Now the indications are that this num-
Der will be doubled. The prospects exceed
considerably the expectations of the projectors
of the drill. At a meeting of the National
Drill committee recently schedule of troops
entered showed that 81 States, , Territories,
and the District of Columbia are represented.
The entries comprise I42 companies Of infan-
try, artillery, Zouaye5 and cadets. Applica-
tons are being received from troops desiring
to take part in the encampment without dill
ing for prizes. Some of these will be accept
ed. The entire Virginia militia has been en-
tered by the State authorities, and will, it is
expected, come under the command of Gov.
Fitzhugh Lee. Gov. Knott has, through the
the Adjutant-G General ofthe State. entered a
representation of the Kentucky troops. In
dividual commands from Virginia and Ken
lucky, as well as other States, have already
been entered for the comp etitive drill. Nine
teen governors have accept ed the invitation to
he present and review on neutral ground the
troops Of tLer OWN and other States assem-
bled The troops will be brig AIDED, and the
encarnpu,ent will be under the general com
mand of Major General whose staff will be
composed of representative militia officers
from all PARTS of the Union. In case Gov.
Lee comes to the camp in command Of the
Y.r.'nia troops, he will be, it is stated, the
officer Of highest aux, and the command, ac-
coriing to military usage, would devolve up
GU him. This is I matter, however. which
has not yet been acted upon by the drill COM
mittee. The statement that General Lee is
to be in command has excited much interest
and many inquiries have been made at drill
headquarters. 1t is among the rumors con-
corning the camp that Gen. Schotield or Gen.
Augur, of tine regular Army, will be invited
to the command of the encampment.

A Decision on the Interstate Law

Judge Deady. in the United States Circuit
cision which virtually nulties the long and
short haul clause Of the interstate commerce
act. so faI as it effects railroads that are com
petitors of wafer routes. IL makes the disinc
ton between commerce wholly within the
States, and also explains The limitations OF
the act as TO carriage of goods be- weeI States
by lines connecting with but acting indepeL-
IDENTIFY of each other, and not receiving goods
for continuous carriage -; shipment. The case
under consideration MS that OF the receiver
of the Oregon and Calf rnia Railroad Com
pany, road lyin. VIII nly within the State OF
Oregon. Judge Deady rules that the trans
portation of property from enc State to anolh-
er is inteISi ate commerce. whether the car
riers engaged in moving it or tie vehicles i'll
which it is borne the line OF the State
or not. The interstate commerce act does
not include or apply to all carriers engaged
in interstate commerce, but oaly such as use
a railway or a railway and water craft "un-
der common control. management" or ar
rangement for a continuous carriage or ship
ment of property from one State to another q;
nor does it apply to the carriage of property
by rail wholly within the State, although
shipped from or destined to place without
the states, so that such place is not in 1 for

held that the Oregon and California road and
the steamers OF the Oregon l. .llway and Nav
igation Company in the carriage OF the goods
in question are not ''used under any common
control, management or arrangement for 4
cont nuous carriage or shipment thereof, to
and from san Francisco within the intent and
meaning of the act, and that the carriage and
handling OF said goods is performed wholly
within the State, and therefore specially eN
emptrd by the terms of the act from lis opera
ton provided the same are not shipped di-
rectly shipped to and from a foreign county.
